Yes: I believe your asthma was not under control even though when you didn't feel any symptom prior to the attack . Thus you need to get a lung function test to find out whether you need a controller drug to prevent another attack. It is now believed that each exacerbation causes some permanent loss in lung function . All patients with asthma should have a rescue (albuterol) inhaler on hand.
